Emails are in GMT Format?

tesseraye · 10-25-2013, 12:34 AM

Hey guys, I just set up calibre to email my kindle pw through gmail and I'm not sure why but the time stamp is set to GMT instead of my local time zone. Is there a way to change this?

Ex: Dear Customer,

Your message to ************@kindle.com, sent at 03:56 AM on Fri, Oct 25, 2013 GMT did not include any attached documents or image files.

It's really annoying when I open my kindle and the latest issue of the times is dated the 25th of October when it's really the 24th.

GMT ist right for email. That's the only way to show everywhere the right time. The Mailclients transform it to the local time zone. OK, somtimes the local time ist used, but then you can read something like GMT+2.

That's nothing new. Ships, planes and shortwave-radio use GMT too. (In old texts you will find UTC oder greenwich time.)
